Title: Hello! May I join the party?
Post by: The Ghillie on September 25, 2014, 02:01:33 pm: Hi all
I thought it was about time I joined this great site , as my wife has done a while ago!
We had our first lambing this year of 26 NCC gimmers this year, all went well, no deaths and no pets :sheep:
We have 6 pigs fattening just now , also about a doz hens , 3 dogs and 3 ponies!

We came into it just at the time of the cap reform , and navigating our way through it all has been the hardest element of it all!

Just love it to bits!

It was was my awesome wife that did pretty much all the lambing , despite our two very demanding children ,she did an amazing job!
Hopefully going to buy some more shortly.
